This is why moz.build has NO_VISIBILITY_FLAGS instead of > saying VISIBILITY_FLAGS = None, e.g. Hmm, that seems very different to what Gregory said! At any rate we will need a way to at least do things such as set flags based on individual files, set flags from third-party projects, etc. Doing a cursory look at the existing call sites, I don't see any reason to believe we can avoid the generic CFLAGS and friends, unless we're planning to write a full abstraction layer over the compiler flags which doesn't seem like a very useful project if we want to link libxul out of moz.build files in finite time.
